RUSH: So Politico has a story today out about how the Democrats are trying to rein in Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Now, you may not know; she lobbied and actively sought a seat on the House Ways and Means Committee. Now, Pelosi and her leadership team decide who gets what committee assignment, and they shot her down. I mean, they made it clear that she is nowhere near being qualified to be on Ways and Means.

And they are… I’m just gonna tell you: The Democrat Party, I think, is in heap big trouble. I don’t think they’re unified.

Can somebody tell me what they stand for? Do not misunderstand me to be saying that they are weak right now. They’re beatable is what I’m saying. They don’t have… What do they stand for? What do the Democrats stand for? They stand for things they cannot tell you. Their sole reason for existence, as far as anybody can...
